If you ever thought, “I wish I knew then what I know now,” you are old enough to start thinking about preventative measures for symptoms of aging. Actually, it’s time you did something about it, so that you don’t arrive at age 50 and think, “I wish I knew then what I know now!”
Results of aging on the body start in one’s thirties, sometimes in late twenties. A myriad of symptoms can occur. A list of the symptoms can include:
Pounds added where not needed, Pain in joints, Spinning or dizzy feeling, Tender breasts, Sweating when temperature doesn’t warrant it, loss of libido,Weariness,Grumpiness, Hair falling out, Problems with sleep, Problems with concentration, Failure to remember things, Troubles with urination, Puffiness, Increase in allergic reactions, Fingernails and toenails easily broken, Changes in scent, Heart problems, Changes in outlook, Gloominess, Attacks of panic, Head pain, Burning sensation in tongue, Bad temper, Spare tire (fat around the belly), Upsets in digestion, Irritated skin, Periodontal disease, Stress of muscles, Muscle weakness, Sensations in arms and legs, Bewilderment and Hypertension.
That’s a partial list. Scary, isn’t it? These symptoms can occur in both men and women, although men may not experience hot flashes and breast tenderness and women are less likely to experience hair loss.
The usual cause of these symptoms is something that happens in an aging body. It can occur at different ages in different people. It is often a gradual process. And there are things that occur outside the body that affect the speed with which the changes occur (exercise and diet, for example).
As the body gets older, the hormone levels that one had in youth dwindle away. The glands simply produce less and less of the necessary hormones, so important in regulating bodily functions. When hormones are lacking or out of balance, symptoms of age occur. All of these symptoms are caused by some kind of problem with hormones. They can occur at different times with different people, but everyone experiences some if not all of the consequences of aging.
A solution that has been shown to bring results in many scientific studies is to restore hormone levels of the body to a more youthful level. This is called hormone replacement therapy and can slow down aging and often even reverse the conditions brought about by hormone imbalances.
If you are in search of this solution, there are a few things you should know. A medical doctor trained in alternative medicine can test for hormone levels and prescribe the needed replacements. It is important that you use bio-identical hormones – that is, hormones exactly the same, chemically, as the ones produced by the body. And it is important that the doctor actually run lab tests for hormones, to determine which ones are lacking and in what amount. There are many hormones in the body – testosterone and estrogen do not control everything.
You can live a longer and more enjoyable and active life. A doctor who knows this will work with you to correct diet and exercise in your life as well as properly administer bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.
